XKarts in Evanston South near Gawler runs outdoor petrol karts and has earned consistent five-star praise, particularly from families worried about safety. Staff are patient with younger drivers getting behind the wheel for the first time, and they take the time to help with helmet fitting and explain what's happening. The junior track and junior karts are purpose-built for younger drivers, making it feel less intimidating than mixing kids with adults on a full circuit. A parent mentioned that their child had been injured at another indoor venue, which is why they approached XKarts cautiously, but the organisation and clear safety standards put them at ease immediately. It's a hot day out there near Adelaide, so staff stay friendly and helpful despite the heat. The setup works well for children over eight, and families consistently leave feeling they got good value and their kids had a genuinely good time.

We had a fantastic experience! The staff were friendly and helpful, the environment was clean and well-maintained, and the safety briefing was clear and thorough. They also assisted with helmet fitting, which was greatly appreciated. Last time, my child was injured at another indoor go-kart venue due to poor safety standards, so I was extra cautious this time. Thankfully, this place felt safe and well-organised, and most importantly, my kids had an amazing time! The junior track and junior karts are perfect for younger drivers. Highly recommended for a fun and safe family outing!

Great place to take the kids, my daughter and her friend's first time driving by themselves and the attendant was very patient. Excellent service, highly recommend!
Came here on a standard weekday, so it wasn't too busy. The owners were friendly and attentive. Costs $35 for a 10 min session both for junior or adult carts. Need to pay $5 aud for a balaclava. The track has many corners so need skill to get great times. The carts are very well maintained. Awesome place
